Five Days Infront the Desktop


The comprehensive internet training for Northern Zone journalists is approaching to an end. Five days in front the desktop for journalists was not an easy task. But there is something that has interested me. As we are approaching the close of business today, no journalist has ever gone in and out of the class during the whole five days.

“This is a very interesting training that we have ever had”, they say. Learning by doing has made them stay in the class for five days without even thinking of going out to hunt stories despite the well known tight schedule journalists have all over the world. They also appreciate to have learnt new skills. The skills include how to search information from the internet for fact findings, how to register and create blogs, how to edit text using internet search engines and how to create blogs.

The five days training has impact that is instant and measurable. All participants are bloggers as they have opened their own blogs to join the world of modern professional journalists.  This also adds to the growing number of people with blogs in Tanzania and hence put the country in front of the map of ICT world.
